The University of California is unique among American multicampus systems in that it is organized around a principle known as the one-university idea. Its premise is simple: that a large and decentralized system of ten campuses, differing in size, resources, aspiration, and stage of development, can nevertheless be governed as a single university. The one-university idea has long been regarded as a major force behind UC's rise to pre-eminence among American research universities. But does it have a future in the age of public disinvestment in higher education? CSHE Senior Research Associate Patricia A. Pelfrey discusses the one-university principle in the context of UC's history, its contemporary relevance to the governance of the UC system, and the drive for institutional redesign in American universities.

This technical report presents the 2016 update of the Innovation Output Indicator (IOI), the latest scores for the composite index and for the underlying indicators. It also discusses in details how changes in the statistical definition of some of the underlying indicators affect the methodology and results. We recall that the IOI was developed by the European Commission at the request of the European Council in order to benchmark national innovation policies and to monitor the EU’s performance against its main trading partners. The IOI is a composite of four indicators and measures the extent to which ideas stemming from innovative sectors are capable of reaching the market, providing better jobs and making Europe more competitive.

In December 2015 the European Commission launched a targeted consultation on the long-term sustainability of pan-European Research Infrastructures. The purpose of this consultation was to identify trends and possible corresponding actions that could be implemented at regional, national and European level, to strengthen the long-term sustainability of Research Infrastructures. The results of the consultation are presented in this report and highlight the need to strengthen the involvement of industry to develop credible business models as well as efficient governance models to develop research infrastructures. It is also necessary to look into the different existing funding schemes both to ensure appropriate synergies and to explore possible new solutions.

Comment se construisent les relations entre les établissements publics de recherche et les entreprises ?
La question du partenariat n'a jamais été aussi actuelle pour les établissements publics de recherche et les entreprises, qui doivent relever des nouveaux défis. Alors que les dispositifs de valorisation se multiplient en France, le partenariat demeure encore insuffisant. Six pistes d'amélioration susceptibles d'aider les acteurs à collaborer plus efficacement sont suggérées par FutuRIS dans un rapport intitulé « Regards croisés sur la recherche partenariale. Comment se construisent les relations entre les établissements publics de recherche et les entreprises ? »

La mesure du temps de travail fait partie des objectifs assignés aux enquêtes Emploi européennes (EU Labour Force Surveys).
